saw this “speed bump” appear when discussing the Mah-Jongg Club. 

One document said something that was contradicted by another 

document. The Board will have to amend one of these. 

So – how do we all get along with our laws and rules and guidelines? 

The best way is to follow them. If you don’t like them, join one of 

our committees or run for the Board and help us make changes that

COMING ATTRACTIONS 

Veteran’s Day Honored 

Aliante Casino, Access Showroom 

November 12, 7 p.m. 

World War I – known at the time as “The Great War” – o�cially 

ended when the Treaty of Versailles was signed on June 28, 1919, 

in the Palace of Versailles outside the town of Versailles, France. 

However, �ghting ceased seven months earlier when an armistice, 

or temporary cessation of hostilities between the Allied nations and 

Germany, went into 

e�ect on the eleventh 

hour of the eleventh 

day of the eleventh 

month. For that reason, 

November 11, 1918, 

is generally regarded 

as the end of “the 

war to end all wars.” 

(Source: United States 

Department of Veterans 

A�airs.) 

In America, the holiday now celebrates the approximate 2.9 million 

U.S. veterans with parades and ceremonies, among other events. 

Here at Sun City Aliante, we will celebrate this federal holiday on 

Monday, November 12, at 7 p.m., in the Access Showroom at Aliante 

Hotel Casino. 

The Nellis Air Force Base Honor Guard will present the colors. They 

are an elite group of professionals who exemplify the traditions 

of the United States Air Force. They are one of the busiest Honor 

Guards in the country, performing upwards of 1,100 details annually 

in an area spanning 108,000 square miles, 16 counties and four 

states. These include military and civilian ceremonies, as well as 

other related functions, including color guards, funeral honors, 

military cordons 

for distinguished 

visitors and �ag 

details for retreat 

and retirement 

ceremonies. 

The Las Vegas 

Brass Band is 

the program’s 

headliner 

entertainment. 

In the grand 

tradition of British 

brass bands, the 

Las Vegas Brass Band is barely an infant. Though, in the western 

United States its success is helping lead the way in expanding this 

rich form of musical expression. This band is always in high demand 

for patriotic events and celebrations around the valley. The Songsters 

and Aliante Steppers will also participate in the program. 

Join us Monday, November 12 for this complimentary event open to 

all Sun City residents and your guests. Seating is limited, so please 

sign up at the monitor’s desk.

HANUKKA CELEBRATION 

Monday, December 10, 5:30 p.m. 

Hanukkah, or Chanukah, is also known as the “Festival of Lights.” As the 

name suggests, the entire festival is a celebration of the miraculous event 

that occurred years ago at the Holy Temple in Jerusalem. The wicks of the 

Menorah stayed lit for an amazing eight days at a stretch, although the 

sacred oil in the temple was enough to light the wicks for only one day. 

This is the reason why lights and lighted decors play such an important 

part in the observation of the celebration. It is vital for the festive lights 

to burn for at least half an hour after the sun sets. 

Welcome the holiday season with the lighting of the Menorah; sing 

along with Hanukkah songs, enjoy a performance by the SCAL Steppers 

and Songsters and take pleasure in the traditional foods of Hanukkah. 

Please sign up at the monitor’s desk by Thursday, December 6 before 

noon. This event is sponsored SCAL Activities & Fitness Department. 

CHRISTMAS TREE LIGHTING 

Tuesday, December 11, 6 p.m. 

One of the prettiest events is viewing a Christmas tree when it is lit up for 

the �rst time. The tradition of lighting the community Christmas tree is 

an opportunity for all residents to come together to celebrate the season 

and to share the message of peace. Holly and mistletoe, along with 

Christmas trees decorated with tinsel, baubles, popcorn strings, candy 

canes and electric lights. 

Residents in attendance will sing Christmas carols and join in the tree 

lighting ceremony. Welcome in the holiday season with the lighting of 

the community Christmas tree, live music, caroling, performances by the 

SCAL Songsters and SCAL Steppers, desserts and beverages. This event 

will begin at 6 p.m. and is complimentary to the community. Special 

guests will include Santa Claus and Mrs. Claus. Sign up at the monitor’s

Remembering the 

Ladies High Tea 


Pinkies up gals, it’s time for a High Tea. Enjoy an afternoon of 

elegance in the beautiful Vista Ballroom while you sip delicious tea 

and remember legendary ladies. At the “Remembering the Ladies 

High Tea” you can sip a variety of teas while nibbling on open-faced 

English sandwiches, pastries and a scrumptious variety of scones 

with Devonshire cream and preserves. Other menu items include 

bread pudding, carrot cake and chocolate cake. The sensational food 

will be catered by Chef Caroline Geiger, former proprietor of The 

Market Tearoom. 

Reminisce with British singer-entertainer Toni Morrell as she presents 

a nostalgic and insightful look at a host of legendary women from 

stage, screen and television through songs, stories and �lm clips. 

The Show 

�� 

�� 

Starring British Sensation, Toni Morrell 

REMEMBERING THE LADIES, starring British Sensation Toni Morrell, 

was voted “Best Solo Show in California Theatre 2010,” nominated 

“Best Special Theatre Event in L.A. 2011” by BroadwayWorld.com and 

was chosen to headline the 

Red Hat Society International 

Convention at the Paris 

Casino on June 29, 2013. The 

musical director is David Dial. 

The unique show salutes 

the legendary ladies of 

Hollywood, Broadway and 

Music through song, stories 

and �lm clips. Toni Morrell’s 

electrifying singing, quirky 

English humor and storytelling 

prowess combine 

with elegantly crafted �lm 

clips and superb musical 

arrangements to create 

an unforgettable concert 

experience paying loving homage to some of the greatest female 

entertainers of all time… Judy Garland, Edith Piaf, Shirley Bassey, 

Marlene Dietrich, Lucille Ball, Marilyn Monroe, Liza Minnelli, Lena 

Horne, Cher, Bette Midler, Peggy Lee, Debbie Reynolds and a host of 

others. 

Celebrity television producer Karen G. Cadle, (‘Lifestyles of the 

Rich & Famous’ and the ‘The Whoopi Goldberg Show’) lovingly 

directs this powerhouse multi-media concert. Having known and 

worked directly with such legends as Judy Garland, Elizabeth Taylor, 

Audrey Hepburn, Lana Turner, Lucille Ball, Doris Day, Liza Minnelli, 

Bette Davis, June Allyson, Ms. Cadle weaves many of her own 

personal insights into the program, o�ering the audience a 

never-before-seen glimpse of who these ladies really were…behind 

the scenes… behind the dressing room door….behind the legend. 

This will be an afternoon of elegance and re�ned grace. Each lady 

is encouraged to wear her �nest hat, gloves and to bring her own 

tea cup and saucer - such as a family heirloom that lends itself to 

endearing conversation. Guests will return home with their own cup 

and saucer. Appropriately, having such a stylish a�air demands the 

service of the fashionable “Thunder from Aliante” male servers. Their 

job will be to graciously wait on all the ladies with distinguished 

�are. 

The ladies of the Veterans’ Club Auxiliary will auction o� a blanket 

at the High Tea to raise funds to purchase more material for the 

blankets they are donating to the Wounded Warriors. The winner will 

be awarded the blanket at the end of the event. There will also be 

some great ra�e prizes from various vendors. 

You’ll enjoy the beloved ritual of an afternoon High Tea. The cost for 

the “Remembering the Ladies High Tea” is $20 for residents and $22 

for guests. Please bring you cup and saucer. Seating is limited. We 

will sell a total of 150 tickets and have 18 round tables, each seating 

either eight or nine. You will choose your seating when you pay for 

your ticket. For those of you who want to sit together, please come 

prepared with the names of your group and full payment. We will

Las Vegas has arrived, so now it’s time to get to work. We will create

be displayed in the trophy cabinet in the SCAL Community Center 

lobby.

friend’s name inscribed on the plaque instead of your own, please 

contact Don Kaufman or me. 

During our regular meeting, Lt Col Groh, commander 22nd Recon

Creech and are absolutely amazing!

Nancy Albers is a life-long singer 

who came to Sun City Aliante 

several years ago to be closer to 

her daughter. She was born in 

Waco, Texas, and began singing 

at age �ve in church variety 

shows dressed as Shirley Temple. 

Her mother coordinated those 

shows, and Nancy was the 

transition act, so the others could 

get their costumes changed. 

She sung in a variety of groups 

from solos to large choirs. She was the Sweetheart of the VA Hospital 

in Texas, while in her teens, and sang the “Yellow Rose of Texas” as 

her theme song. When she married her husband, just a month after 

their �rst date, she knew she would be a traveling woman as he was 

in the Air Force. During their �rst 20 years of marriage, they moved 

19 times and lived in several foreign countries. They �nally put down 

roots in Hattiesburg, Mississippi, where her husband was a professor 

at Southern Mississippi University. 

Nancy really enjoys singing and telling a story through her songs. 

She said, “In church, it’s like praying to sing the praises.” The 

Songsters are lucky to have this octogenarian and her lovely voice in 

the alto section of their choir.
